Can someone PLEEEEEASE help? I am at wits end here! I need to know a less lethal way of feeding my flies. They keep "drowning" on me. I have tried bread and screen, I even thought maybe putting honey in the bottom ridge of the cup they come in to feed them in the bigger enclosure I have them in...

What are all the little hairy caterpillar things in my feeder cricket tank? They seem to be multiplying rather quickly. The don't turn into some flying anoying things do they? I have been keeping them cleaned out of the tank but when I went to clean it the other day there was quite a few of them...

I have a bunch of L2 or L3 asians probably 1" - 1 1/4". They seem big enough to me to handle blue bottles but would like some input b4 I order some.

I am guessing this may be why my cultures kinda stopped producing? I have 2 cultures that I made Mikhails way. They started out like a house of fire now I barely had enough flies to feed 15 mantids. In 2 days I highly doubt there will be enough again, they just went 3 days since the last...

Thanks to you both for the info. I went and bought another tub just for the breeding. There is no substrate and a dish of sand for them to do thier thing in. Hopefully this works because I dished out 2 doz crix the other night for my mothers to be and when the 13 asians get a little bigger and...

Will crickets breed in the sand substrate or is it necassary to have a dish of moist soil in the container too? Will the babies grow if I leave the dish in the container if needed?

Yes I use crix mainly and they have eaten through one screen on me. Screen replacement will give me something to do this winter I guess. :rolleyes:

Recieved my nymph cups today. Quick shipment. Definately recomended.

My asians arrived today all healthy and happy. Plus the 2 freebies. Now all I have to do is learn how to take care of spiny and gambian. Thanks a bunch Yen :D

I am interested in H Grandis nymphs or ooths. If anyone has some for sale please PM me. Thanx

I noticed with my Europeans that they get skittish and fly off when you stare down with them. I'll have them on my hand and they will be looking around but when they realize some big monster is holding them and they stare you down to see if you are a threat if you stare into thier eyes just to...

The other site is real nice! Hopefully it works the face lift woould be a nice change. Keep up the good work guys!

Sorry about your lose. Makes me kinda think. My mom n dads anniversary was the 29th. No card no call havent talked to her in almost 2 years. Someday I wont be able to "wonder" how she is doing :(

I chose other for suffocation. I prolly coulda used water for drowning but it is the wholething of not being able to breath. Some day my fear will catch up to me. A pack n half of nails a day I will run outta air some day :shock: <-- My eyes while I'm turning blue :roll:

I have read bits and pieces of this topic but never found it as a whole. :?: When should you use metal (aluminum) screen instead of fabric (vinyl, fiberglass, etc) :?: Be it mantids or feeder cages when is metal NECESSARY?

As far as the playing they love the treadmill. Hand over hand they can do it for seems like hours. I use to play the stare down with them but I got tired of them either flying off my hand and smashing into the wall or once in awhile my face. As far as the spots I can't say for sure he had them...

I fed my mantids earlier and noticed my male has only black on his under arms (now?). I am not 100% sure he had white when I brought him home but the white usually attracts your eye when you see one. Every time I feed them or play with them it stands right out. Could this be like a sighn of...

Congrats on the ooths! How long after mating did it take for the females to lay the ooths? Mine have been mated for a week now. I have one female that isn't real big on eating now :? but the other 2 are like garbage disposals :shock:

I should have prolly finished my question. I ask this cause I found these awsome 123oz containers at Family Dollar. It has a screw on cap with a flip top lid. I ripped the flip top off and glued screen around the top. Now for the inside part of the gluing. I wanted to hang screen inside to make...
